City Manager Fialho introduced Finance Director Dave Culver who provided a detailed presentation. In response to Councilmember Thorne, Mr. Fialho explained the impacts of inaccurate budgets. With regard to Enterprise Funds, Councilmember McGovern noted that the annual replacement accruals are falling short. Staff responded that they have been setting funds aside for a decade for infrastructure, but given the fact that there have not been recent rate increases, staff is aware that are not keeping up with the pace. In order to pin down a number, a rate study needs to be completed. Sewer rate information will be available before the next budgeting process, with water rates to follow. With regard to the storm drains, there is an assessment on property taxes, but in order to increase that fee, a mail-ballot election is required. In the meantime any shortfall is made up through the general fund. Financial Services Manager Dave Iremonger gave an update on the golf course debt service and an explanation of the carry-over funding given for the Commercial Water Conservation Program. City Manager Fialho provided information on the 800 MHz radio project, explaining the number of units, funding and the time needed to set aside the necessary money. Mayor Hosterman opened the public hearing. Hearing no requests to speak, the public hearing was closed. Councilmember Thorne stated when strategic planning for budgeting, a number of performance measures should be reviewed. He believed $5 million at year-end was too much. Throughout the years he sensed that expenses are over estimated and revenues are under estimated and suggested that performance measures be considered during the budget process.
